Alan,

We could print the colors, but the two buttons are made of the same piece of
plastic, to make each one a different color we would have to change the
tooling.  If we print the color - it's possible - but not as good.  It will
scratch, wear non-uniformly, rub off, etc.  It's why the other plastic
buttons are imprinted (or will be in B3).  Stickers are possible, but Fuse
won't like because of alignment of the stickers (it's why we are heat
staking the colored XOs on the backside of the laptop instead of using
stickers).

If all say a color is really important - we can see if we can print
something that could wear better (perhaps a pattern instead of a solid).
Even a fine xoxoxoxox pattern.  Whatever.  Any ideas?
